Christmas Card Out-takes

While in Aiken over Thanksgiving, we tried to get a good photograph for our Christmas card, but it's a lot to ask a 4 month old to look nice and smile at the camera. And to withhold from making obscene gestures with your left hand. 

And to get the dog to sit for the family picture. 

Just in case there was any question what McCord thought about taking the family photo, Monkey shot the bird

in every.

single.

picture.

And while Monkey was communicating a different message, we simply wanted to let our friends and family know how thankful we are for their support and encouragement this year.  So as a last resort, we settled on a conglomerate of pictures taken over the past 5 months (sigh).
